A gunshot rings out, but who fired it and who is the target?
Two years earlier, the rock band Nova, with brothers Tony and Mike, is ending a successful tour. Tony wants to party, while Mike aims for a solo career. Their manager, Glen, discovers Alesha and turns her into an internet sensation. We follow her rise through auditions, rehearsals, and the MTV awards.
Alesha’s agent, Eddie, falls into gambling and drugs, causing chaos. Her friends Joy and Sky, who started as her backing singers, face their own struggles. Joy’s relationship with Tony ends, while Sky becomes Glen’s assistant.
A fan’s dream to see Nova’s final concert is crushed when Tony causes a scene, canceling the show. Amidst the pressure and minor celebrities, can Alesha survive?
But all is not as it seems…
It’s curious that throughout history, musicals have reflected the culture of their times. With the advent of Jesus Christ Superstar, we saw music and lyrics for a new generation, yet this hasn’t happened recently…
Inspired by every rags-to-riches story and set to the music of the iTunes generation… everything is about to change…
